Cool! Serious thanks for all of these replies. I went ahead and installed
the rear Tour Canti and used the stock hanger. First time with these (had
the Neo Retro before). Those little studs that slip over the posts are
wild! Cool design and super easy to adjust the tension. Anyway I think I'll
I like moon units. I’ve got a set of green ones on my Quickbeam. They
replaced the stock Shimano cabling. They don’t work any better, and I made
sure the cable lengths matched the Shimano units. I wouldn’t trade them
back.
They are easy to manage, because you can tighten the cable bolts withou

i just upgrade to these, and i do like how it was a little easier to get
the starting cable in, and you can remove the roller in case your straddle
cable have ends already
I will never find it again but I read somewhere that Paul Price said the
Moon Units don't work any better than other cable hangers, but they look
cool.
I gave up on them because they're too fancy and expensive, realizing a
humble cable hanger is all you need. I still have a set on my Appaloosa
Yes, a bit easier to set up because you tighten the cable with an allen
wrench, a little easier to snug up the cable initially. I like the curve
action on the straddle cable, it does not bind on the cable groove like
what happens, sometimes, with the traditional Dia Compe straddle hanger.
Plus,
Does the curve in the Moon Unit offer a more graceful curve to the straddle
cable? If so, is there a little bit less slack in the system and a
slightly better feel at the lever? For $40-60, I decided not to find out!
Maybe someday I'll try it.

Staying with Paul, if you can’t get the Tektro to work there’s always the Funky Monkey:Funky Monkey Cable Hangerpaulcomp.comJay LonnerBellingham, WASent from my Atari 400On Oct 17, 2024, at 6:12 PM, Rick Harries wrote:I really like the bits of useful information that I learn on this list. I need

need to install a rear center pull brake on a bike with no cable stop and

I can't speak to a Moon Unit but I have used a wider cable carrier and it
offered nothing over the basic Dia-Compe style ones. More effectiive for
the front at least is a Tektro 1277A fork mounted cable stop. They can be
used in the rear of your bike has no cable stop, use the correct mounting
They are a lot easier to set up -- it's a lot easier to tighten the cable
with the fixed bolt. They're wider than most carriers, which translates
into a bit more leverage (or mechanical advantage) , which "might" be good
with certain aero brake levers (making sure you have enough lever pull),
